There are some good things that have come from being cooped up and sick.

1) I got to talk Lexi through baking cupcakes.

I couldn't help her, being sick and all. And besides, she wanted to do it all herself and try out her cake decorating kit she got for Christmas. She is loving it! We might have to sign her up for some classes.

2) I was able to watch my kids work together to take down all the outdoor Christmas decorations, the Christmas village, and straighten out the laundry room, and do some dishes....and run a couple errands for us too.

Our kids are pretty awesome. And by "those" kids, I mean Kyle, Curtis, and Lexi. (Danielle, your not included, but you are awesome too) We have awesome kids!

So see, there are some good things that do come from my situation. AND yes! I am trying to see the silver lining. Trying. ~smile~smile~
